Our Kawan branded Asian Specialty breads, Buns and Snacks are the best in quality and authenticity of its kind in the frozen food section. They are suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans and are 100% HALAL.
It is with intention and purpose – that we are specialized in sourcing and dealing with IQF (Individual Quick Frozen) fruits and vegetables among other products.
From a nutritional point of view –frozen fruits and vegetables are often superior to the so called “fresh” fruits and veggies you’ll find in supermarkets.
Usually, fresh vegetables travel hundreds or thousands of kilometers from farm to grocery.
It takes several days from harvest, cleaning, transport to the city, deliver to supermarkets until finally displayed for some time on the shelf.
It is a fact that from the minute a fruit or vegetable is harvested – the nutritional value starting to decline already. Take into consideration the length of journey to the shelf of your supermarket, plus the time you store it in your own house – the nutritional value could be close to zero.
In contrast – frozen vegetables and fruits are picked when they are on the peak of ripeness, then processed immediate at the source and being frozen in a “blast freezer” which takes only minutes – with the result of maximum nutrients being locked in!

Even Looking from the angle of convenience, frozen fruits and vegetables offer many advantages as well, in particular in the food industry and professional kitchens.
